Info file for multiple title set VOBs

[mike191]

Very new to this. I have a self made Demo DVD that I want to strip out all audio except the DTS stream. I have accomplished this and placed the resulting VOB files, VTS_0x_1 where x is 1 to 20, and the corresponding info files in a new directory. I now need a new VIDEO_TS info file which represents all 20 title sets and need to be able to play on a stand alone DVD player with the ability of advancing from "title to title". How is this done? When I start IfoEdit and select "creat info file" it only creates an info file for the first title and ignors the remaining 19 titles.

Help!

Welcome to the forum! :D

What you are experiencing is normal procedure. IfoEdit will only create new IFOs and BUPs for a single titleset. For your DVD to be in specs, you must have at least VIDEO_TS files and VTS_01 files. You must create IFOs for each individual VTS VOBs and in turn, rename them your VOB files to reflect VTS_01. You mentioned you have 20, VTS_01 to VTS_20.

I have accomplished this and placed the resulting VOB files, VTS_0x_1 where x is 1 to 20, and the corresponding info files in a new directory.With the previous said, you should have 20 directories with files like below.

VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_1.VOB

You can then use DVD Shrink's re-authoring feature to drag each Title 1 of each folder. Strip audio in question here if you want.

This is one way to achieve what you want.

Another method is joining your VOBs with VobEdit so that each VOB will become a chapter after creating new IFOs with IfoEdit. Of course, you must make sure that each VOB has the same attributes. e.g. aspect ratio, audios, subpictures, etc... All your VOBs will fall under one PGC so it is important that all VOBs joined is the same or else you will have conflicting problems.

Thanks for the reply.

Each of my VOBs is in fact different. Joining them under one set of VOBs like VTS_01_x where x is 1 to 20, does not work. I have different aspect ratios and audio tracks.

So IfoEdit will not combine and make a new VIDEO_TS IFO file from a series of VOBs structured like I have? I will try the DVDShrink approach.
